You can prepare a tasty dish with the smell of the sea, and sound of the waves as the tide rolls in towards The Old Cheeseloft.

Imagine the French doors open, sea air blowing as you enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony (whilst watching the children play on the beach).

The hallway is ideal to house those boots, wellies, coats, equipment et cetera for exploring the great outdoors. Just off the hallway downstairs there is a bathroom with wc, sink, and large walk in shower.

From the window seats you can gaze at the panoramic open sea views towards Meikle Ross and the Cumbrian Fells in the distance.

The “snug” sitting room has a leather settee, flat screen TV, and WIFI. From the snug you can go out into the fresh sea air on to the smaller of two balconies of The Old Cheeseloft.

The Idle Tides Room – just as it says, idle your time away in this light and airy room just off the kitchen diner, with double French doors and a larger balcony with some outdoor seating. We have two Ekornes “Stressless” recliner chairs with foot stools, and a comfy leather settee, along with a flat screen TV, and DVD player. You will find some DVDs, board games, toys, books and magazines for you to enjoy whilst relaxing and unwinding. There is a Hybrid Dowling multifuel burning stove for which we will provide kindling, wood or coal for those cosy nights inside with that relaxing toasty feeling. Idle your time away………….. because life is better by the sea and time stands still……..
